Objectives

FIXED PROSTHDODONTICS MODULE (2 ECTS)

Understanding of concepts and terminology, and, the treatment sequencing in basic clinical cases of fixed rehabilitation.

Demonstrate understanding of the laboratory procedures, materials and new technologies for manufacturing inlays, crowns and short-span bridges.

REMOVABLE PROSTHODONTICS MODULE (1,5 ECTS)

To acquire knowledge and competencies for the rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients with removable dentures.

To understand the laboratory techniques for production of skeletal prosthesis.

OCCLUSION MODULE (2,5 ECTS)

To acquire knowledge on the parameters of interest and the diverse pathologies of the field.

Students will be competent in diagnosis and articulator mounting of casts.

MATERIALS MODULE (1 ECTS)

Students should develop skills to manipulate materials used in rehabilitation treatments.

CAD-CAM IN PROSTHODONTICS MODULE (1 ECTS)

To acquire knowledge about CAD-CAM systems; practice of design/manufacturing of mock-ups/restorations.

Learning outcomes and competences

The syllabus meets the objectives defined for each module.

In Fixed Prosthodontics, upon guided theoretical learning through seminars and practical demonstrations, students are able to understand the fixed rehabilitation workflow in simple cases, and its possible variants.

Students should be also competent in the planning and design of removable partial dentures; for that purpose, essential theoretical and practical knowledge is transmitted to provide students with the technical skills requested.

The syllabus of Occlusion and Orofacial Pain develops students' capability of diagnosing pathologies, as well as the ability of mounting casts on articulator.

The understanding of properties and indications of biomedical materials is the adequate way of enhancing students' ability to use and manipulate them.

The knowledge of scanning/image/digital design systems is pivotal to improve students' technical skills.
